Question

Find the constant of variation for the relation and use it to write an equation for the statement. Then solve the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

y = $\frac{49}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 7 when x = 3

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{7}{3}$, thus

y = $\frac{7}{3}$ x ← equation of variation

When x = 7, then

y = $\frac{7}{3}$ × 7 = $\frac{49}{3}$
